You guys are awesome. Great advice and very much appreciated. Everything you observed from the videos is spot on to what i'm feeling in the course. I know the effects of my mistakes but never could dial in on the causes. @ToddL , @Chef23 , @Texas6, @Than_Bogan good call outs on my gate. I will definitely work on getting higher on my gate pull out, not rocking back on my turn in, a less aggressive pull with lower arms and a better edge change going into 1. @wtrskior, Never thought about throwing my releasing arm out too early until you mentioned it. Makes sense. @Texas6 I also like the right ear and right hip analogy on my offside turns. I can feel myself breaking forward to compensate.
@lcgordon, @jhughes nailed it. Its my brothers 1988 Nautique 2001 hull. We use it from time to time to have some old school hand driven fun. We use a stop watch on the gates for first few passes to dial in the old air guide speedos and off we go. Don't get me wrong, I love my 196 with ZO. Still getting used to the ZO pull though. Did some reading on here and switched from B2 to A1 on the settings which seemed to help a little bit.
Speaking of 196's @Than_Bogan, so sorry to see that happen to your boat. I cringed. And mouse tunnel looks really really cool.
